if you beat on the car alot, imo i would. its takes the stress off the tranny mount and transfers it to body. it also well help your 60ft at the track. i replaced mine with a tunnel mounted adjustable t/a. it lowered my 60ft and the only downfall is that if it has hyme joints it will clunk when you shift hard.

I agree with the above statement. Will take tons of load off the tranny. Will need to dial your pinion angle in.

With 600 hp, I'd say yes it would be a good investment.

I agree as well, with that power you will want to consider it. Also if it is manual this adds to the risk of cracking the tail shaft.

I hope that helps!
